This area chart displays the S&P 500 index price over time, with the date on the temporal x-axis and price on the quantitative y-axis. The visualization is rendered using Vega-Lite’s `area` mark, defined in a JSON specification that loads data from a CSV file hosted on GitHub. The code embeds the chart into an HTML page using `vegaEmbed`, which processes the specification with the Vega and Vega-Lite libraries.
